GETTING STARTED
Thank you for purchasing Hunter Douglas Silhouette®window shadings.
With proper installation, operation, and care, your new shadings will provide years of beauty

Please thoroughly review this instruction booklet and the enclosed packing list before beginning
the installation. If your shading has a protective plastic cover on the fabric-covered headrail,
keep the plastic in place until the shading is installed.

Importance of Limit Stops on Silhouette Window Shadings
Limit stops serve as the upper travel limit for the bottom rail, preventing it from rotating
around the fabric roll. Limit stops are located 6" from the ends of the headrail or are
centered on shadings less than 36" wide.
When a shading is made, the limit stops are adjusted according to the size of the fabric
roll. Occasionally, this adjustment changes during shipping or installation. If this
happens, problems can be fixed by readjusting the limit stops. See page 12in the
Troubleshooting section if shading operation is difficult or if the bottom rail rotates
around the fabric roll. Shown below are the four possible positions of limit stops for large
to small fabric rolls.

Prepare the Installation Brackets
■If using the optional back cover: Use pliers or heavy
duty scissors to remove both the top and bottom tabs on
the installation brackets.
➤Then remove the top tab on the back cover brackets.
➤Snap the prongs on the back cover brackets into the
holes on the back of the installation brackets.
■If not using the optional back cover: Remove the top
tab only on the installation brackets.
NOTE: Save these tabs once removed. They may be used as
shims, if necessary.
Mount the Installation Brackets
■Mark 2" to 3" from each jamb for bracket location.
➤If more than two installation brackets came with your order, space additional bracket(s)
evenly between the two end brackets and mark their location. Mount into wood
whenever possible.

■Decide whether the front or back set of installation bracket holes works best in your
application. Mark the location of the screwholes.
➤The depth required for fully recessed mounting will vary
depending on the type of headrail and vane size. Refer
to the chart below for depth requirements.
■Use a level to check that the mounting surface is level. Shim the brackets, if necessary (use
the top tab that was removed from the brackets).
■Drill the screw holes using a
3
/ 32 " drill bit.
CAUTION: Use drywall anchors when mounting into drywall.
■Attach the installation brackets using the screws provided.
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten the screws. Check to ensure
the lever can be moved easily side to side. If not, loosen the
screws
in one-eighth turn increments until the lever can be
moved easily.
IMPORTANT: The front edges of the installation brackets must
be level and aligned to eachother.
■If using the optional back cover: Install the cover into
the back cover brackets. If necessary, trim the back cover
to the desired width.
